Re: Fuel leaves behind a thin film

Our shooter is a gravity fed double wide 4 inch stealth wheel "fly wheel". The ball compression created by the fly wheel is less than 1/4 of an inch. WE have found that the build up is due to the quick ball acceleration. The issue we ran into is once the residue build up hit a certain thickness it began to peel off some ball would hit that bare spot on the fly wheel and be sent much farther than ones that hit a residue covered section. We attempted to calibrate our shooter with the build up, but we ran into that issue. So, we will just dedicate a team member to sand our flywheel after every match to clear up our issue.
